Line Noise Episode 137 (Boombass)

Es el episodio cinco, lo que significa que nos acercamos al final de nuestra querida serie, ¡The Sympathiser! En este episodio, David y Ben comparten algunas teorías escandalosas sobre la existencia, el ego y la pérdida tangible, elogian el uso de la música en la serie y se sienten mal por la Sra. Mori.

S1E5 - All For One

¡El final está (casi) cerca! En este episodio, Ben y David examinan "El modo oriental de destrucción", el penúltimo episodio de The Sympathizer de HBO: ¿existe Mẫn? ¿Es Rita el mejor personaje secundario? ¿Está el Capitán completamente loco? ¿Y por qué lo hace la señora Mori?

S1E6 - The Oriental Mode of Destruction

At the Primavera Sound festival this year Johann Wald and I were lucky enough to put together two titans of modern pop music, AG Cook and Sega Bodega, for an epic Line Noise conversation into the state of music, from hyperpop to Britpop, Caroline Polachek to Charli XCX. I wouldn't be exaggerating if I said this was one of my favourite Line Noises ever. So enjoy.

Line Noise Episode 169 (A.G. Cook and Sega Bodega)

My guest on Line Noise this week is jungle producer extraordinaire Tim Reaper (aka Ed Alloh), whose new album with Kloke, In Full Effect, is out now on Hyperdub (and very good indeed). We talked about first raving experiences, obsessive behaviour, jungle vs. drum & bass and DJing a wedding with Aphex Twin. Line Noise comes to you with the support of Cupra.

Line Noise Episode 183 (Tim Reaper)

David y Ben exploran el penúltimo episodio de la tercera temporada de nuestra querida The White Lotus: Killer Instincts. Hablamos del bardo, los coros griegos, nuestro (inesperado) amor por Saxon y mucho más. Y, por supuesto, intentamos adivinar quién morirá en el último episodio de la próxima semana. ¡Escríbenos! linenoisepodcast@gmail.com

S3E7 - Killer Instincts

Es el último episodio de la tercera temporada de The White Lotus, lo que significa que es el último episodio de nuestro podcast. Por ahora. Al igual que los espectadores de todo el mundo, David y Ben discrepan sobre los méritos de Amor Fati: a Ben le encantó, a David le decepcionó. ¿Pero por qué? ¿Qué personajes fueron realmente los protagonistas de la tercera temporada? ¿Y qué demonios tenía que ver un donut con todo eso?

S3E8 - Amor Fati
